FC United can clinch the Evo-Stik Premier title tonight and finally secure a place in the Conference North.

The Rebels came from behind to win 3-1 against Stamford on Saturday and move to the brink of promotion.

And Karl Marginson’s men host Stourbridge at the Tameside Stadium tonight knowing that victory will end their seven-year wait to climb into non-league’s second tier.

“The dream scenario is to win the league in a home match,” said the FC boss. “We’ve given ourselves a chance of doing that and it’s down to us to execute it.

“We’ve not been nervous at all during the run-in. Over the past couple of weeks the players have been trying to force the ball a little bit, trying to score goals too quickly.

“We drew a couple and lost one. We played all right, we’ve been on top. We did everything but score against Skelmersdale.

“But I think you could see the strength of character after we went a goal down on Saturday.

“The players responded to the training we did during the week, with respect to being more patient in the final third and looking to open up defences that maybe sit a bit deeper, and it worked a treat.

“We came away with a 3-1 win and it could easily have been more so the lads are full of confidence and the feeling I had on Saturday was that tonight’s came couldn’t come quick enough.”

ASHTON UNITED ended FC’s promotion hopes last season in the play-offs and although the Robins can no longer catch the Rebels this term, victory at home to Witton Albion will see them book a play-off spot again.

Second-bottom TRAFFORD are already relegated and have to play their final three games in the space of five days.

They will look to build on Saturday’s rare win as they host sixth-placed Blyth Spartans tonight before visiting Ramsbottom on Thursday night.

STALYBRIDGE CELTIC will secure Conference North survival if they win their game in hand at home to Bradford Park Avenue.

New manager Liam Watson has led Celtic to a six-match unbeaten run which has put them on the brink of staying up.

A point tonight should be enough due to Colwyn Bay’s inferior goal difference but victory would definitely make Celtic safe and spare them a nervy final day.

If Darlington fail to win at Warrington Town tonight it will see SALFORD CITY crowned Evo-Stik North champions without playing.

Darlo are five points behind the Ammies with only two games left, so look set to compete in the play-offs with third-placed NORTHWICH VICTORIA.

The Vics play MACCLESFIELD TOWN tonight in the final of the Cheshire Senior Cup, to be played at Nantwich Town FC.
